Cas won, so the world is fine; Leigh lost, so the world's back to normal.

Super League have extended the Sky TV deal, reportedly down from 40m a year to 25m. However it is not exclusive and there is speculation of maybe ten live games a year on terrestrial TV (which means the BBC really). Sky are also committed to putting some of their games on their more accessible channels.
The lower divisions may go onto Premier / Freesports.
Meanwhile in yet another bout involving bald men and a comb, a new comp is launching in North America which currently is not sanctioned by the governing body. The NARL will involve 14 teams with Toronto and Ottawa playing each other, and the 12 US teams playing in two conferences.
It means the Ottawa and New York clubs will not be joining the RFL competitions, and the backers of those clubs are backing this new league instead. Somebody has to be paying for it because they can't have fans in and there is no TV deal in place, but the teams have player budgets of 300,000 dollars each.

It isn't 100% sour grapes after our 2 point extra time bollocks loss to Leeds (albeit two really poor teams), but what the bloody buggering hell is wrong with a draw?
This is not a vintage Wakefield Trinity season. I was going to be sober tonight, but I can only watch Trin with 5 pint's worth of cans and octuple measures of Cointreau.
In fact, I hate watching my team live or on telly. A BBC Sport update suffices so that I can message my friends and family and have a right good moan. Shit, shit and more shit.

I went to Odsal a couple of times 30 years ago in the Bradford Northern days when they played Trin. As a child it seemed massive. It is massive. An iconic venue and criminal not to be used. The players seemed tiny from the back of the terraces.

in truth, Cas blew Wire away in that first half. Very impressive and a fitting send off for Powell if they can win at Wemberlee.

.....and NSW were grumbling about having two away games this year! This game was supposed to be at MCG, but was moved late because of the change in restrictions in Victoria. And yes first time Townsville has hosted, or any other "regional" venue for that matter.
